Thank you, I really appreciate you taking the time to respond.

Honestly is there any way this bot can be deactivated?? Are parents really counted as dependents? Where in the process was I supposed to establish that they aren’t dependent on me?

@legalfalcon quick question, could you confirm as to what a “dependent” is per Canadian immigration? My COPR lists none, I guess because I’ve never been married, have no kids etc. Are parents and siblings counted as dependents?

Hey! My PPR request did not include any mention of eye color or height which were actually only in my e-APR (and the height was in my medicals). I'm wondering if this is a cause for concern. There was nothing on the PPR mail requesting this.

Hey, I posted a longer reply with some links but it was pending moderator approval for a long time. I'm unsure if it's visible to other posters yet. Short answer - I called VFS, the German Border Police, read all the online docs available on the German Federal Foreign Office website etc. They...

Hi @legalfalcon I will be flying to Canada for my first PR landing in a few weeks, so I’m just trying to ensure I get it right. I’m collecting following, please let me know if I’m missing anything - 1. Passport with immigrant visa 2. COPR x 2 copies (one with a photo) 3. The spare photo that...

Hey there, I still have about a month to go before my flight unfortunately but I did get confirmation from several sources that as long as you have a valid Canadian visa and do not leave the transit zone, enter the Schengen zone etc. you don't need one. I even called the Frankfurt border...

Thank you both for your replies. And thanks iSaidGoodDay, my saga with the final PR step continues, with surprise bureaucratic regulations showing up at each step, and now in other countries ;) I hope we both make it there in one piece and thanks as ever. Take care!

Thank you!

Thank you for your reply! Have you had this experience recently by any chance?

Thanks for taking the time! I am hoping since I will both land and take off from Terminal 1 that means I wont be leaving the transit area. I tried calling a bunch of the consulates here and they keep redirecting me to the generic info on their website. From what I can tell I do not need a...

Hello all, I am an Indian national with a valid COPR and a visa counterfoil in my (Indian) passport. I will be transiting through Frankfurt , with a stay of 5 hours and in the same terminal. (Terminal 1). As far as I know I don’t think it involves leaving that terminal at all. I saw a few...

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply! Just being paranoid I guess, but given the gruelling and murky process, can you blame me? :P Yep, Jan AOR and got my visa in early March. Just wrapping up things now and hope to head there in a couple of months. Just hoping it all goes smoothly.

Hello, This probably seems like a silly question, but I'd love to double check that I haven't missed anything. I live overseas and applied for the FSWP via Express Entry. I have received a COPR as well as a visa in my passport, both with the expiry date of 2023/11/25. My key question here is -...

Will do once I land to be honest

Received my envelope yesterday with my COPR x 2 and the visa in the passport. The same night the GC key status changed to approved (then strangely back to ‘Medicals passed, but the final decision is still ‘approved’). Good luck to those still waiting.

Absolutely. Any change in your application status on your CIC account so far? sure, will do. Try not to worry, they wouldn’t ask for your passport only to decline your application surely :)

Yep, Delhi. Did you get the email from VFS or was it from IRCC? No updates to your GC key either? I read on multiple threads here that usually as soon as the counterfoil/ visa is placed in the passport the GC Key account status tends to update to approved and it lists the counterfoil expiry...

Thanks, I appreciate it! I hope the application status changes to 'approved' now that the envelope has left the IRCC office and there's no unpleasant surprises.

Thanks all for your replies and suggestions. IRCC had my passport from the 1st of March. I received an email update from VFS saying my 'decision envelope' has been sent from IRCC to the Visa Application Centre. I'm assuming this means the visa has been stamped? I'm a bit worried because nothing...
